Loved working here. I only left because my spouse was relocated. The salary is above average and the benefits are great. Both salary and benefits were the best of any company I have worked for.

Cons

Some of the positions had a high turnover rate. Not sure why that is but there are some departments that went through staff over and over. The internal recruitment policy lacked transparency. Oftentimes an employee would apply for a position only to find out the job was already offered to someone else and the job was posted only because policy dictated it be done.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

My experience and time there was fantastic and I learned a lot. I would advise that the internal recruiting should be done with more transparency so that you do not end up applying for a job and potentially risking your reputation with your current department for a job that was not truly available.

Atmosphere is great if you are hard working. Almost everybody there is out to succeed. Benefits are great if you are a full-time employee. Bonuses are good if you are producing. Christmas party is awesome. Leadership was driven. Highly recommend.

Cons

GMP and IT security protocols can make certain aspects of employment a chore. Dealing with union employees is frustrating. Lots of red tape in certain areas. Firing process is pretty brutal to witness, but if you are producing you shouldn't be worried. Lots of things are very hush-hush and office politics can be overwhelming at times.

There is a strong entrepreneurial spirit in this company. No one looks over your shoulder, everyone contributes, and everyone seems happy to be here. The corporate mission translates very well to the lower ranks. I get great exposure to top executives, but that has more to do with my position than the company overall.

Cons

Pay is good for Pittsburgh standards, but for my position it's definitely low relative to what I could get using my same skill set elsewhere.

Top notch benefits, passionate and heroic individual contributors, huge and consistent bonus component, and proven leadership. If your goal is to work in a corporate environment and have consistent opportunities for personal and professional growth, Mylan is a great choice.

Cons

Work/life balance can suffer through frequent, large project cycles. High performers may thrive, but high performance is considered to be them minimum expectation.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

Restructure bonus program to better incentivize the highest performers. The difference between average and amazing can be immaterial.

Company has awesome benefits, from medical coverage to educational reimbursement. If you are interested in going back to school and are willing to put in the work, Mylan will pay up to 100% of your education based on your grade.

Cons

Like any other company, there are always politics that go on and will always go on. My experience was that the pros of the company benefits outweighed the cons. There was limited room for advancement during my employment.
